That's good to know. Both me and my fiancee will be needing a winter jacket. In fact, both of us are going to need whole new wardrobes. All my clothes are geared towards the year round summer weather of Southern California.

Indeed; I'll back Arc'teryx winter gear. Most winter days in A2 I just rock a sweater, jacket, gloves and scarf, but there are a few weeks where serious winterwear is a necessity. Pro tip: invest in some good boots.
